Ingredients

• 500 grams minced beef (or pork/chicken)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced

• 1 medium bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 150 grams green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 units spring onion, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Stir well until the cornstarch is dissolved and set aside.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add minced garlic and ginger to the pan; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion and stir-fry until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the minced meat to the pan. Break up the meat with a spatula and stir-fry until browned, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the bell pepper, carrot, and green beans to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Pour the sauce mixture over the meat and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly, and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions.

Step 10

Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
